You’ll never eat canned cranberry sauce again. And you’ll have your ole’ friend Lisa Fischer to thank. I found this recipe in 2003 when I was a subscriber to Bon Apetit magazine. For 15 years, I have prepared this or had the recipe tucked away to give to friends, as it is an often-requested recipe. You still have time to run to the grocery store to pro[...]

This is a movie review. Go see Bohemian Rhapsody. The end. All right. I will expound, but I don’t want you to put it off. This film will take you back to your high school days of sitting in the bleachers stomping your feet to “We Will Rock You” and thinking about eating at Casa Bonita afterwards where you got to put the flag up if you wanted sopapilla[...]

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Europe where we were celebrating 30 years of connubial bliss. I ate my way through Italy, indulging on pasta and bread. And I loved every morsel. (Side note: I did not gain a pound because I’m a faithful intermittent faster. Oh, and we walked eight miles a day). But when you go to Italy to order a red sauce [...]

I think someday when I write my cookbook (I mean, I’m not going to write a cookbook, but if I did), it would be recipes just for meal delivery. You know, we’re in the South, and we love to take a covered casserole dish to a new neighbor, a new mom or just because. I have to deliver a meal tonight to a friend who was in the hospital. So I looked in the Li[...]

I adore cottage pie. I ate my first authentic dish of it in 2013 just a half-mile from Windsor Castle across the pond. We learned the difference between cottage pie and shepherd’s pie that day. Cottage pie was named for the poor people who lived in cottages and ate potatoes and thus mashed potatoes were on top. Shepherd’s pie was named for the shepherds[...]

Maid in Little Rock: Molly Maid Cleans Up

There is a squeal heard around the neighborhood of Chenal Valley twice a month. It’s from my home after a team of two uniformed women have left my home and gotten into a car with the words MOLLY MAID on them. That’s because I made a decision about nine years ago to spend more time taking care of my family and my side hustles and less time cleaning my ho[...]

I have an interesting story. I was raised by my cousins in Dermott, AR, after my mother passed away from a drug overdose three weeks after my 12th birthday. I was, for all intents and purposes, an orphan. My parents had been divorced since I was a few months old, and my father, an alcoholic, didn’t have the capability to raise me. Sherry Gibson, my fi[...]

No, it’s not Mardi Gras or anything even close. But it is fall in Arkansas, which means you should whip up something on the stovetop that is warm and serve it over rice with crusty baguette bread. I insist. I’m the Mayor of Foodville and I command my food-loving citizens to enjoy some shrimp creole tonight. Shrimp Creole Ingredients 2 tablespoons oi[...]

Scallions is a gem of a lunch place in the middle of the Heights. The restaurant has been serving delicious lunches for over 32 years now. The same terrific chicken salad, shrimp salad and the TO-DIE-FOR cheese soup have been making al fresco and indoor diners so happy for so long. Brandi and Chip Meadows took over 3 ½ years ago and haven’t strayed fa[...]

I make no bones about one of my many shortcomings: I am not a baker. Baking takes precision and measuring, which are two things I don’t necessarily bother with. I am, on the other hand, a savory cook. I throw things in a pan and somehow it is really good. So imagine my surprise when I found this recipe a few years ago that even I couldn’t goof up. [...]
